                    <h1>Hello, I'm Nick.</h1>
                    <p>I'm an undergraduate student at <a href="https://www.csc.ncsu.edu/">North Carolina State
                        University</a>, studying Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics.
                        My interests include
                        <span class="kw-r">Robotics</span>,
                        <span class="kw-g">Planning</span>, and
                        <span class="kw-b">Algorithms</span>.
                    </p>

                    <p>In my free time I like to cook, build scale models, go to the gym, and
                        <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/190561458-nicholas">read</a>. I play
                        bass guitar and love listening to a wide variety of
                        <a href="https://open.spotify.com/user/orange_oats?si=d898cb65fbd44dd7">music</a>. I also play
                        a lot of <a href="https://backloggd.com/u/Oats_/">games</a>. Some of my favorites include Elden Ring, Signalis, and Minecraft.

            <p>I work in the <a href="https://hier-robotics.github.io/">HIER Lab</a> on learning-based approaches
                to legged robot locomotion. My current focus is translating human motion capture data to quadrupedal
                robots using deep learning-based motion retargeting.</p>

            <p>My broader interests are in the algorithmic foundations of robot navigation, agile locomotion, and motion planning.
                I want to build robots that can safely assist people with tasks that are dangerous, physically demanding, or otherwise out
                of reach.</p>
